According to our barebone expert
Te Intel NUC7i5BNK barebone is a compact computer that's suitable for watching and editing videos and text files. The Intel Optane memory ensures better cooperation between the RAM and the hard drive, which means Windows 10 and all your programs will boot just a bit more quickly. Thanks to the Thunderbolt 3 input, you can transfer large files up to 8 times faster than with USB 3.0. Since the compact size makes it no bigger than a lunchbox, you can neatly keep it on your desk.

The system itself still needs to be upgraded with a storage, working memory and operating system.
I myself chose an SSD 960 EVO M.2 250GB from Samsung, with which you can achieve very high read and write speeds (2.2 GB/s read and 1.2 GB/s write). Opted for 2x8 GB SODIMM DDR4-2133 from Crucial, 2x4 GB should be sufficient if you are only doing media content. Also with Windows 10 as operating system. As a result, the complete price of the system will soon be around €700.
TIP: use 2 memory banks, so choose 2x4 GB if you want 8 GB and not 1x8 GB. By using 2 memory banks, it has a maximum speed of 32 GB/s instead of 16 GB/s. This is because the CPU supports dual-channel.
My experience: Need some knowledge to install all the necessary things, otherwise very suitable for 4K 60Hz content, plus Dolby Surround support over the HDMI connection. Very easy to connect by using only HDMI and power connections, the rest goes via WiFi or Bluetooth. It can still play quite a few low-end games, especially at 1080 (full hd). Very fine and fast for daily use and that for such a size.
Disadvantage: The fan makes quite a bit of noise and comes out easily in a quiet environment. This disappears completely when playing a movie or music.

Years of Intel NUC experiences and this version is another step forward with all the connections you need. Sufficient USB connections and multiple HDMI with the right specifications. Unfortunately the fan noise (cooling) is a bit noisier than previous versions.
